Handel has wonderful lines you can feel that he is working on the vocal side. “Of course I sing a lot of Vivaldi, Bach, Handel and all the great Baroque composers, but Vivaldi has something special, he has his own way of processing the voice. Whether he’s known online or not, Orliński has had a strong connection with Vivaldi, and in particular his Stabat Mater, since the beginning of his career. Maybe we should challenge him on this point, as were not sure we share his opinion, but we are already under his spell. So yeah, the video was a success, a lot of people saw it and of course, I gained a lot of visibility, but I wouldn’t say that it made me famous, because… I’m still not famous actually! And what is being famous anyway, what is fame? Haha!” But before that I had already studied for two years at the Juilliard School in New York and took part in many projects in the USA and Europe. The reason the video was so successful was because it was filmed under such distinctive circumstances and because I wasn’t all dressed up like I would be for a concert, I was dressed like a “normal” person. You might think it was Vivaldi that launched his career for that matter, given the millions of views accumulated on YouTube, since 2017, for his famous video in Aix-en-Provence. Although he is not quite awake, he is still beaming: his new album Vivaldi: Stabat Mater has just been released by Erato – Warner Classics. He is covering seven cities, with nearly as many climates as time zones, yet the Polish countertenor still manages to spare us some time. He is currently in the middle of a tour of North America with his pianist Michał Biel, and right now he is in Quebec, where it’s snowing.
